Soon be time to stroll down to Maurice Dobson Museum for our 5000th Bacon Butty event. Some lucky customer, at around 11.00am, will buy the 5000th bacon butty sold in the shop and they’ll win free bacon butties for the rest of the year!* *that’s one butty, of course. It’s November.

#Introduction We aren't a museum but we've loved working closely with Barnsley Museums & Barnsley Archives & Local Studies uncovering Eldon Street stories. The 4 year project in partnership with Barnsley Council & Historic England has ended & we're looking back on four wonderful years. #Museum30


Art, history, cake and Ian McMillan - just four reasons to visit Maurice Dobson Museum today!

The Eldon Street HAZ has achieved so much in the last four years! This final in person event celebrates just a few of the people associated with the history of the street. We'll see you next Saturday just across from the town hall!



At Barnsley Museums we always try to give a voice to those who aren't often heard and with Arthur Godfrey and The Barnsley Carol we have done that, with a carol that had been lost for 90 years Watch our new video which has an intro from Ian McMillan youtu.be/AbwZC3T-XWs

It's our last podcast of the year which we are dedicating to The Barnsley Carol Hear the version of the song the BarnsleySingers recorded for this years Barnsley Bright Nights bit.ly/BarnsleyCarolP… 🎶 Search Barnsley Carol in your usual podcast provider 🎶


Hats off to Ian McMillan and all the other Maurice Dobson Museum volunteers.



Wow 5 years of daily puzzles! Way before Wordle The Cooper Gallery started turning art into puzzles, a lockdown initiative soon became part of people's daily routine and continues to bring people together. 🧩🧩🧩
